Purposeful In The Doing

Hi everyone, I've read some of your post on here and I hear your struggles and pain. Even though we don’t feel loved by others, good about ourselves or we find ourselves in circumstances less than what we hoped for; we still are LOVEABLE and LOVED by someone no matter where you find yourself today. I had a fall yesterday were my face hit the gravel, not a pretty site. That fall triggered those negative thoughts and feelings that started me in a downward spiral. Long story short, I had to purposely get up this morning, that was a start. I purposely took a stroll down a walking path in our woods, took time to stop and take in beautiful fall colors. Do you see where I'm going with this? Tonight, I'm not in my emotions/head were I want to be, but doing these things has kept me from spiraling down even further. I feel better at the end of the day about myself in the doing than not doing it at all.

Be good to yourself, even if it's in the small things, you are worth taking the time for.

Sorry to hear about the fall, but it is inspiring to read your words. I am so happy to read you have some beautiful woods near you - I love those kinds of walks. :)

Me too 🤗

yes be good or kind to yourself and please take extra care ! I am always looking for potholes or cracks on the road - I twisted my foot severely and since then looked twice down where I am going! Glad your mood turned to better thoughts
